In a new Final Fantasy XV gameplay trailer, Square Enix has revealed Death magic, which is one of the spells granted by the Ring of Lucii. As you can see in the video, Death not only drains the HP of enemies, but the longer you use it, the more the enemy physically deteriorates.

Throughout the video you’ll see a number of different areas, as well as a variety of enemies, including the Bulette, Imperial Rifleman, Magitek Axeman, Ma Veles, Glamhoth, Seadevil, Iron Giant, and, at 3:12, the newly revealed Bandersnatch.

This is an action role-playing game (RPG) in which players control a prince and his friends as they attempt to save a kingdom from evil forces. From a third-person perspective, players move around battlefields and city environments, perform various quests, and battle an assortment of human and fantastical enemies (e.g., demons, titans). Characters use swords, guns, and magic attacks (e.g., exploding fireballs, blasts of ice) to defeat soldiers and oversized animals in frenetic combat. Fights are highlighted by cries of pain, dramatic light effects, and realistic gunfire. A handful of cutscenes depict characters impaled on swords; one cutscene involves a woman being stabbed off-screen; another scene depicts a character with a bloodstained wound. During the course of the game, some female characters are depicted topless, with breasts that lack discernible details (i.e., no nipples). The word “sh*t” appears in the dialogue.

Final Fantasy XV releases on November 29 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
